If using factory type control arms, there's no need to bolt the bag to the bottom of the a-arm. The cup is bolted to the bag & then just sits in the a-arm like the coil did.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Re: front bag help!!!

ive got another question... i just got some ss7 in and as i was measuring trying 2 make the mounting holes and air hole for top bracket (witch i made myself) i crushed the bag so i can fit it between the arm and crossmember i noticed the bag touches the upper plate on the inside (side where engine goes) when it is deflated.. it gets lower on that side, it slants.. is this normal or is the bag suppose 2 be evenly deflated, straight up and down

It's going to be compressed more on one side. It's normal w/the geometry of the 63-87 GM truck stock a-arm configuration.
